IBM Platform Computing

Maximize the utilization and performance of your distributed computing
environment

Do you need to run more simulations or analyses in less time? Are you looking for new ways to optimize resource utilization while containing costs? You need to maximize the potential of your infrastructure to accelerate your analytics, HPC, Hadoop and born-on-the-cloud applications at any scale, extract insight from your data and get higher quality products to market faster. With intelligent workload management and policy-driven resource scheduling, IBM Platform Computing enables you to deploy an agile shared services environment that speeds time to results and decreases infrastructure costs by optimizing resource utilization. Now even faster, with more flexibility and scalability to over 150,000 cores, IBM can help you optimize your distributed computing environment, whether it’s a small departmental cluster, a multi-site grid or a high performance cloud.

Our clients speak...

“(Platform) Analytics is one of the most significant IT investments that we have made. We needed the IBM solution to deliver the HPC utilization required to help our research teams generate results rapidly, meet their publication deadlines and, ultimately, secure new funding.”

- Elie Hachem, Founder of Aeromines and Head of the Computing and Fluids Research Group at CEMEF Mines ParisTech

“Without IBM (Spectrum Scale and Spectrum Protect) , the PetaLibrary would simply not be possible.”

- Peter Ruprecht, Senior HPC Analyst, University of Colorado Boulder

“Platform HPC software makes this a reality – you can simply request, for example, 100 cores and 1 TB of memory, and the software provisions the environment automatically. And when you’ve finished with it, the resources are returned to the pool.”
